University to discontinue
dial-up access on campus
As of August 31, students
who use the Universitys dial-
up connection to access the
Internet will have to switch to
a cable or DSL connection or
find another dial-up service
provider.
According to Bill Myers, director
of information services for KU
Libraries, the University currently
has a dial-up connection that
students, faculty, staf and retirees
may subscribe to. However, be-
cause of the dwindling numbers
of subscribers, Myers said the con-
nection has become expensive to
maintain.
When we had 7,000 subscrib-
ers it was worthwhile, Myers said.
But now that there are 600 users
out of a maybe possible 30,000,
its not.
Myers said if a student using
dial-up wishes to continue do-
ing so, he or she would have to
fnd another provider, like AT&T.
Students who choose this option
will still be able to access the KU
network and their KU account in
the fall.

Jayhawk Blvd. to be closed
at 14th Street intersection
Jayhawk Boulevard will be
closed for construction near
its intersection at 14th Street
beginning June 27 and last-
ing until the start of the fall
semester.
The boulevard will be closed
to through trafc in both direc-
tions for the construction of a
new trafc booth to be located at
the south end of the intersection
of Jayhawk Boulevard and 14th
Street.
Lilac Lane and 14th Street will
remain open with signs posted
ahead of the construction site
to divert traffic to Mississippi
and 14th Streets. Buses will use
Mississippi Street as an alternate
route.
Mike Krings, University
spokesman, said the new booth
is going to replace the tempo-
rary traffic booth near Danforth
Chapel that was placed at the
intersection during the construc-
tion of the Docking Family Gate-
way at 13th Street and Oread
Avenue in 2006.
Krings said that Jayhawk
Boulevard will not be closing com-
pletely.
You just wont be able to go
through that one intersection, he
said.

in brief
By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra

On the 6th and 7th floors of
Lewis Hall, 53 incoming freshmen
are learning about the University
through the Freshmen Summer
Institute, a program designed to
give incoming freshmen a taste
of University life before school
starts in the fall.
The institute has been part of
the University for 10 years, but this
was the first year that it was a four-
week session. Previously, the pro-
gram consisted of two three-week
sessions.
Jessica Ward, graduate coor-
dinator for the FSI, said that the
change came because the two ses-
sions were not diverse. The first
session would have more in-state
students and the second session
consisted of more out-of-state stu-
dents.
They wanted more of an even
mix, Ward said. I think we have
that. We are half and half male
and female, and in-state and out-
of-state.
Lisa Moore, FSI resident assis-
tant, said that one more week
would help the students bond with
each other and get to know the
campus and its traditions better
in order to be a step ahead of all
their peers.
Students also said that one week
makes a big difference when it
comes to the FSI.
I dont think three weeks is
enough time to get everything
that we would like to know and
get to know the
people that we
are trying to
get to know.
Ashley Magana-
G a r c i a ,
Hu t c h i n s o n
freshman, said.
A l t h o u g h
students take
two classes, the
learning experi-
ence that the FSI
has to offer has
less to do with academics and more
to do with the little things.
I was just scared about getting
around and knowing where things
are, Tucker Cox, Kansas City, Kan.,
freshman said.
Students take a tour of cam-
pus within the first few days of
moving in and have to take PRE
101, a class designed for fresh-
men who want to learn about the
University.
Magana-Garcia said that the
teacher in her PRE 101 class said
the freshman would get to know
campus as well as they knew their
own bedrooms.
Campus is so big and my
high school is so little, Magana-
Garcia said. FSI will definitely
help us not
feel as much
as freshmen.
The fresh-
men also do
a community
service proj-
ect and are
e n c o u r a g e d
to attend dif-
ferent floor
activities on
campus.
S t u d e n t s
can go out at night with other
FSI participants or stay in and
play video games, watch TV or
make puzzles. On the 6th floor,
there are three different unfin-
ished puzzles on a table in front
of the elevator.
The social aspect also plays a big
part for students participating in
the FSI.
Magana-Garcia came to the FSI
to meet other students because
she would not be living in the
residence halls during the fall. She
said the FSI was a good place to
meet those students she might not
have the chance to meet living in
an apartment.
Sam Arkin, Chicago freshman,
said that the friendships he has
formed at the FSI would help him
get better acquainted with the
University and dorm life in the
fall.
This is like beginning freshman
year early and when we start out
with everybody we have friends that
we know from the summer and we
will all still be friends, Arkin said.
Some students said the FSI helps
them to come back in the fall a
step ahead of most other freshman
that have not had such exposure to
campus life.
I have the upper hand, espe-
cially when 1,000 or 2,000 more
freshmen dont know where they are
going, I could just literally laugh at
them... not that I will or anything,
Arkin said.

The anti-war movement took
to the streets Monday evening as
a group of more than 100 protest-
ers marched down Massachusetts
Street as restaurant patrons and
passers-by looked on.
The crowd slowed traffic at
times and chanted One, two,
three, four, we dont want your
racist war! on their way to a vigil
at South Park. The crowd began
the march at Liberty Hall after
viewing Sir! No Sir! a documen-
tary film about the G.I. resistance
movement during the Vietnam
War.
Betsy Hatch, Kansas City, Kan.,
junior, said she came to watch
the documentary, but decided to
stay and take part when she heard
about the march.
I was thinking how great it is
when people can come together
for something that they really feel
is important, she said. I think
our message got across.
The film told the story of
American soldiers in Vietnam
who opposed the war and the tac-
tics they used to make their voices
heard. Certain parts of the film,
such as when a veteran of the war
called his peace symbol necklace
his dog tag, received cheers and
applause from the audience.
The event was sponsored by
Films for Action, Kansas Mutual
Aid, and the Lawrence Coalition
for Peace and Justice.
After arriving at South Park,
the crowd held candles and gath-
ered at the parks pavilion to listen
to a speech by an Iraq veteran
from the Kansas City chapter of
the Iraq Veterans Against War. An
open forum followed, and several
members of the crowd, includ-
ing Vietnam veterans, spoke about
various topics such as the medias
role in the war and the presence of
G.I. resistance in the Vietnam and
Iraq Wars.
One person encouraged every-
one to write their congressional
representatives and voice their
disapproval of the war. Another
person urged those in attendance
to take part in the anti-war move-
ment by cutting down on their oil
usage.
James Piller, 2007 graduate, said
although he was impressed by the
discussion, he felt more needed to
be done.
Its a good sign that theyre
actually here and being seen but
its very different from actually
doing something about it, he
said.

In the ongoing profanity battle
between the FCC and Corporate-
TV-USA, FOX recently scored
ground: Fleeting expletives are
F***ing-OK. With the ruling came
a sigh of relief from the once
vulgar Cher, Nicole Richie, and
yes, Dick Cheney. But the decision
is already in
the process
of an appeal.
I grew up
with essen-
tially profan-
ity-free pro-
g r ammi ng ,
jaded only
by the words
behind the
bleeps of
the Jerry
S p r i n g e r
Show, but
I wasnt a better person because
of my ignorance. I still embar-
rassed my parents, got spanked,
and hated my sisters.
A commentator once noted
that, [a person]with four life-
times and a burning desire to find
out whether he may scream Fuck!
in a crowded theater will come
away in confusion if he looks for
his answers in the opinions of the
Supreme Court.
Although the freedom of
expression is explicitly protected
in the Constitution the govern-
ment has consistently approved
its limitations. The lynch pin in
this idle prattle is deciding when
profanity becomes obscene.
Linguists have consistently sup-
ported the categorical conception
of fuck, dividing its connotations
into two camps: Fuck as a verb
literally meaning to conjugate and
fuck as a substitutive word in
phrases designed to have offen-
sive force. Because of its conno-
tative versatility, its meaning can
vary depending on the person,
situation or physical context of
its utterance. The fact that fuck
can be substituted for God or hell,
shows that the evolution of this
word has lost all intrinsic denota-
tive and connotative value.
In the 1950s, the FCC declared
that in order for profanities to
be considered
obscene, they must
allude to excre-
tory organs and
prurient interests.
This standard
held precedent for
many years, even
as far as 2004 when
Bono stood before
the Golden Globes
and received the
statuette for best
original song by
exclaiming ...this
is really, really fucking brilliant!...
After this incident, the FCC
rewrote regulations on fuck, that,
in their new definition intrinsi-
cally connotes sexual imagery
effectively using soap to wash out
the mouth of tele-
vision.
However, in an
earlier case, Miller
v. California,
courts ruled that
profanities must
meet 3 standards
to be considered
obscene: 1) A rea-
sonable person
using community
standards would
consider the utter-
ance to have pru-
rient interests. 2)
It must depict or describe sexual
conduct. 3) And it, as a whole,
must lack serious literary, artistic,
political or scientific value. What
Bono meant when he said, hold-
ing up that award, ...this is really,
really fucking brilliant!... would
change dramatically if it HAD met
these standards, and frankly Id
be concerned for the statuette if
it did.
In Cohen v. California, a man
bearing a Fuck the Draft jacket
was arrested for walking through a
court-house. The Supreme Court
overturned his conviction and said
if people didnt agree with the
message, they could avert their
eyes. They also said that profani-
ties, many times, have emotive
value -- important in generating
audience response.
I say, shielding viewers from
such programming is unnecessary.
Simply because a show is pro-
fane doesnt mean it has persuasive
powers on the feeble minded. I got
a good kick out of Maury Povich,
but I never wanted to fight a dwarf
or marry a goat. And at the end of
the day, Cain killed Abel LONG
before there was television.
Concerned parents are trying
to protect their children as long as
possible from those who take up
precious air to execrate all over the
f ree-worl d.
While this
is an under-
s t a n d a b l e
request, I
think the
reins of THIS
horse should
be put in
the palms of
the parents
to decide
what their
children can
and cannot
watch. It is
NOT the responsibility of Congress
to make sure that all humans are
afforded Life, Liberty, and the
Freedom from Swear Words.

I would say its a weather thing.
Its been too wet to pitch tents
or make fres.
liz coleman
Salvation army shelter manager
By Tyler Harbert
tharbert@kansan.com
Good summer weather and
flooded camp grounds are causing
many Lawrence shelters to notice
an increase in the visibility of the
homeless around town.
Brenten Antholz, a 2007 Fort
Hays State University graduate who
took some of his courses at the
University this spring, said hed
seen an increase
in the number of
homeless people
coming into the
shop where he
works asking for
spare change or
cardboard boxes
to make signs.
The weath-
ers better so of
course, youre
going to see more
down there,
Antholz, has worked for a year at
White Chocolate, a skateboard shop
at 1005 Massachusetts St. He said
he sees an increase in the homeless
population in the summer months.
I used to give money, but not
anymore, he said. Im a little
hardened now that Ive lived in
Lawrence.
Michelle, a homeless woman
who wished to withhold her sur-
name, has lived at the community
shelter since January 2006. She had
been engaged to a man in Kansas
City, Mo., until he was placed in a
state mental health care facility and
the couple lost
their home. She
said she decid-
ed to move
to Lawrence
because she
said it was
safer.
If I go to a
college town
its a more nur-
turing founda-
tion, Michelle
said. Im very
thankful to be here.
She said shed noticed more
homeless people here in Lawrence
lately, probably because of rain that
flooded out the local camp-
grounds. She doesnt work
and said she was just trying
to figure out her own living
arrangements.
I dont know where exactly
I should be, she said.
Liz Coleman, shelter man-
ager at the Salvation Army,
946 New Hampshire St., said
the summer months are his-
torically a travel time for
larger numbers of homeless
individuals.
Thats part of the reason
the average number of nightly
shelter visitors rose from 20
in May 2006 to 43 people the
same time this year. The other
cause for the spike has been
recent rainfall.
I would say its a weather
thing, Coleman said. Its
been too wet to pitch tents or
make fires.
Currently the majority of
the Lawrence homeless popu-
lation are men, said Donnie
Hornberger, director of com-
munity relations for the
Salvation Army.
Of the 60 beds the shelter holds,
six are designated for women only.
For the first time since the shelter
acquired the bunks from a shelter
partner, homeless people occupied
all 60 bunks June 20, Hornberger
said.
The Lawrence Community
Shelter, 214 W. 10th St., is almost
always at its
m a x i m u m
o v e r n i g h t
capacity of
31 people,
said Loring
Henderson, the
shelters direc-
tor.
Because the
maximum is
constantly the
same, he said
he didnt think
there were more homeless people
in town, maybe just more of them
were visible in the summer.
Generally speaking, people use
the service more in the winter than
the summer, Henderson said. I
dont see a lot of new faces particu-
larly.
The difference between the com-
munity shelter and the Salvation
Army is the shelter is open, mean-
ing residents dont have to submit
to a Breathalyzer check at night like
they must at the Salvation Army.
The shelter also doesnt allow resi-
dents under 18 years old, Henderson
said.
As a member of the Lawrence
Community Commission on
Homelessness, Henderson has
worked to find a plan to reduce
chronic home-
lessness, and
touch on varied
homeless needs
like employment
and health insur-
ance.
He said the
commission esti-
mated there are
100 homeless
individuals each
night in Lawrence,
although they
may stay with friends or camp on
the banks of the Kansas River or
under the Kansas River bridge.

If I go to a college town, its a

For 14 University students study-
ing in Eutin, Germany, theres no
cuisine like Kansas barbecue. The
students didnt have to click ruby
red slippers, however, to get a taste
of home while overseas. In celebra-
tion of the citys 750th anniversary,
home-town cooking came to Eutin.
The students, who have been living
in Germany since May 25 along with
20 delegates visiting from Lawrence,
co-hosted a Kansas night to cel-
ebrate their sister citys anniversary.
The cooking for the event was led
by Bob Schumm, owner of Buffalo
Bobs Smokehouse.
We had cornbread, coleslaw and
barbecue, Scott Seeger, director of
the Summer Language Institute for
2007, said. It was quite the event.
The Lawrence-Eutin relationship
began in 1966 when the University
began sending students to study
in the northern German city. The
two towns became sister cities in
1989. According to Seeger, events
like Eutins anniversary and Kansas
night rejuvenate the feelings of con-
nection between Lawrence and Eutin
and makes the links stronger.
It helps you see how intensely
Lawrence and Eutin really are con-
nected with one another. Kansas
night felt like a bunch of good
friends meeting again and spending
time together, Seeger said. It always
impresses me the amount of friend-
ship and exchange that is put into the
program.
The rib nibbling and beer-stein-
clicking camaraderie of the evening
began with a rendition of Kansas
state song Home on the Range.
It was sung by KU students and
Lawrence guests. According to
Seeger, the performance set a good
tone for the night.
Since the chorus is the same,
more and more of the crowd began
to sing along as we sang, Seeger said.
The feelings, especially among KU
students, was real excitement.
For the event, Kansas flags hung on
the walls and students and Lawrence
visitors wore blue bandannas. Regina
Kroh, graduate student and assistant
director of the program, confessed
to having taken a large portion of
coleslaw and thought there are no
antelopes in Kansas while singing
the state song.
For Kroh, who grew up in
Mecklenburger, Germany, this was
her first return home since January.
She said while living in Lawrence
she craved dark German breads. But
now after returning to Germany, she
missed American food. Kroh first
moved to the U.S. in 2000 for a
school exchange program.
I lived the most part of my life
in Germany and I will always be
German. But I do very well in both
countries and I miss one when I am
in the other. Kroh said,
Audrey Deeken, sophomore, said
she enjoyed eating American food
while drinking German beer, espe-
cially since it was not legal for her
to drink in the U.S. Deeken said she
was excited to have her host family
try the Kansas cuisine and the event
made her feel at home in Eutin.
The Lawrence-Eutin connection
is nice because we get to participate
in things like Kansas night and we
are treated like very special guests
the entire time, Deeken said.
Lawrence further helped com-
memorate Eutins anniversary this
summer by dedicating an art sculp-
ture, Eternal Spring, to the town. It
was created by a Lawrence resident
and sits on the bank of the Great
Eutin Lake.
The students will continue study-
ing in Eutin until they leave on July
18. In September, Lawrence rep-
resentatives will travel to Eutin to
continue the celebration at a cere-
mony in which an opera singer from
Lawrence and a KU graduate who
plays the piano will perform.

A sign bearing the word Bienvenidos
greeted hungry crowds Friday and
Saturday nights at the 26th annual
Mexican Fiesta at St. John the Evangelist
Catholic Church, 1234 Kentucky St.
The sign, which means welcome
in Spanish, hovered above an already
busy food line at 5 p.m. on Friday.
Frank Lemus, a church parishioner
and chair of the festival, said the vari-
ety of Mexican dishes such as tacos,
tostadas and burritos were the real
draw for the hundreds of people who
come to the annual event.
More than 200 volunteers helped
with the festival this year, Lemus
said, preparing dishes, selling T-
shirts and standing in the small ven-
dor tents for a few hours during the
hot evenings.
The event featured two bands,
Son Venezuela and Grupo Picante.
Lemus said the salsa-style music was
just another way to celebrate Mexican
culture in Lawrence.
I really think now were a
Lawrence tradition, not just a St.
John tradition, he said.
The celebration required a full year
of planning, Lemus said, and the money
raised at the event would benefit a new
Spanish language class at St. John ele-
mentary school.
For me, I just dont think you
can start too early on a second lan-
guage, Lemus said. Im not fluent
in Spanish like I should be, so I want
my kids to get a jump on it.
Elliot Bryant, a Haskell Indian
Nations University senior, is a Navajo
language speaker. Friday night he
waited for Son Venezuela to begin
playing so he could communicate
through dancing.
The music tells you how to
dance, he said. It moves you.
He demonstrated some of his
dance moves, alternating his feet
back and forth three steps at a time,
and said he liked the similarities
between Latin American and Native
American dancing. Bryant planned
to get some food and attend the festi-
val Saturday also, and drink plenty of
water so he could keep moving.
Judy Parker stood in a line for
food early Friday, waiting to buy a
taco and a tostada before beginning
work in the food building. The St.
John Social Service Ministry worker
and church attendee had attended
each festival since 2000. She said her
favorite aspect of the event was the
sense of community it promoted-
that and the food.
Everything is handmade, she
said. Its all good and fresh.
Marta Carvajal-Regidor and Gaby
Otero, Lawrence High School sopho-
mores, volunteered in a roasted corn
booth for two hours, serving the hot
treats with various seasonings.
The two volunteers, who attend a
youth club at the church, said they
were looking forward to their friends
joining them Saturday to play car-
nival games at the festival. But first,
they had to serve roasted corn and
try not to enjoy too much of it.
I like it the Mexican style and with
lemon, Parmesan cheese, chili powder
and mayonnaise, Carvajal said.

KU on Wheels recent decision to
switch bus driver providers caused a
lapse in operation on June 18.
May Davis, transportation coor-
dinator for KU on Wheels, said
Lawrence Bus Company workers did
not show up in the morning, leaving
the buses without drivers.
Davis said the company would not
tell her why the drivers didnt show up.
She said the situation could be con-
nected to the switch from Lawrence
Bus Company to MV Transportation.
Davis said that KU on Wheels
would be switching to a new com-
pany, MV Transportation, to supply
the drivers for the University bus sys-
tem. The switch will happen on June
29 for SafeRide and July 1 for KU on
Wheels.
The Lawrence Bus Company would
not comment on whether the switch of
companies was the reason their drivers
did not show up.
She added that KU on Wheels
switched companies because MV
Transportation had a more cost
effective proposal with new ideas
involving new technology.
Davis said she spoke with the Lawrence
Bus Company and does not expect to
have this problem in the future.
Two students waited for nearly 30
minutes for the bus from Park and
Ride. Ashley Coleman, Kansas City
senior, and Steven Witherspoon,
Wichita senior, said they noticed
there were no cars around.
Coleman and Witherspoon decid-
ed to drive to class to avoid being
late. Coleman made it to class in
time, but Witherspoon said did not.
Coleman said she picked up two
friends waiting at the bus stop by
Jayhawker Towers on her way to park
behind Frasier Hall. They would
probably still be sitting their today if
I hadnt picked them up, she said.
Coleman said she looks for cars in
the parking lot to make sure the buses
will be running that day. Coleman said
she wished she had received an e-mail
alerting her to the situation.

Five University of Kansas journal-
ism students are working on creating
new ideas that could shape the ways of
digital media in the near future.
The five students; graduate students
Chris Raine, Nate Martin and Courtney
Farr, and seniors Brian Lewis-Jones
and Sam Knowlton, are part of the
Knight Brothers 21st Century News
Challenge.
In the challenge, students from
various universities work together to
create and develop ideas that would
help improve the global community
through digital media.
Raine and Farr are former University
Daily Kansan staff members, and
Lewis-Jones is a current staff member.
The students will each receive two
credit hours of coursework for partici-
pating in the challenge.
Each member of the team was asked
to come up with 10 ideas for digital
media, and then narrow them down
to one idea to present to bring during a
meeting at Ithaca College in New York
in early August. Some of the original
ideas on the list included everything
from a Web site that would allow peo-
ple to get medical advice from doctors
without having to schedule an appoint-
ment to a database that would track the
luxurious items purchased by elected
public officials.
On Tuesday, the team met to nar-
row down their list of ideas. One of
the ideas that was discussed in detail
was a local wiki, a site similar to
wikipedia.com where the residents of a
community could post anything from
news stories to restaurant reviews to
crime statistics.
I think it can develop into a site
where people share personal stories,
sort of a virtual block party, Raine,
Lawrence graduate student, said.
The site could be incorporated with
a Google map, making it easy for users
to find information about buildings or
businesses in a particular area.
The team is still in the process of
deciding on their final idea.
There are six other universities par-
ticipating in the challenge. They are
Kansas State, Michigan State, Nevada-
Las Vegas, Western Kentucky, Ithaca
College and St. Michaels College
Patrick Lafferty, multimedia news-
room coordinator at the William Allen
White School of Journalism, is the
coordinator for the schools project.
It will be valuable for the team
members to think outside of their com-
fort zones while developing the idea,
Lafferty said.
Knowlton said that he initially
became interested in participating in
the challenge because he felt it had
great potential.
It looked like it could be a differ-
ent, new and interesting experience,
Knowlton said.
At the meeting in Ithaca, the KU
team and students from the other par-
ticipating universities will incorporate
their ideas into one proposal that they
will present to an online board associa-
tion in Toronto in October.

The last time The Pharmacy played
in Lawrence it was in a basement, the
location of which they cant remem-
ber. The Seattle-based punk band
came last Thursday, to the Jackpot
Saloon where a group of about thirty
fans rocked to their tunes.
Lead singer Scott Yoder, dressed in
jeans and a tie-dyed shirt, kept high-
energy beats flowing for about an
hour. Until the band left the stage to
pack up their instruments and hop in
their van to drive overnight to their
next destination: Boulder, Colo.
The bands current marathon of
a tour80 shows in three months
has left the four members with many
stories to tell.
Most recently, the band enjoyed
some quality time at Montana Mikes
Steakhouse, 1015 Iowa St.
We went there and I had a ham-
burger the size of my face, said key-
boardist Stefan Rubicz, 20.
Bassist Ryan Thompson, 23, said
his fathers graduate advisor, who
is now a University of Kansas fac-
ulty member, picked up the tab. Free
meals are appreciated, band mem-
bers said, as theyre usually pretty
broke.
Once in Minneapolis, the quartet
had $10 collectively, and Thompson
stripped for money. He made $6 for
his performance.
The Pharmacy has also had a few
run-ins with the law.
In Kentucky, the group said they
were almost arrested for swimming
in a closed public pool.
In New York City, Rubicz had
to go to the police station after his
friend was involved in an alterca-
tion.
I spent like four and a half hours
there just talking to all these cops. It
was like NYPD Blue, Rubicz said.
The experience helped the band
define its type of music their. Rubicz
showed an officer some pictures of
the band and the officer said, Oh,
so youre one of those grunge-punk-
psychedelic bands. The band still
uses the descriptor today.

Get caught, get kicked-out:
Lawrence apartment complexes are
busting intruders for stealing resi-
dents sun-time.
Jessica Stewart, manager for
Tuckaway Apartments, said
Tuckaway attempts to keep non-
residents out of their pools by stop-
ping people they do not recognize.
Stewart said she knows most of the
Tuckaway tenets by appearance and
all by name. Management asks peo-
ple to leave if they do not live at the
complex.
Stewart said she expects students
to use apartment pools they do not
belong to.
Its pretty typical. I went to pools
in college that I didnt belong to.
Its not a huge deal, but it does take
away from the tenants that live here,
Stewart said,
Two weeks ago, Tuckaway had
to drain their
pool to remove
glass fragments.
Stewart said this
was a result of
the party scene
that occurs
when unwanted
guests leave their
beer bottles and
cigarette butts
behind.
N i c o l e
We i t k a m p ,
Overland Park graduate, attempted
to use the Tuckaway pool earlier
this summer. She said a Tuckaway
employee questioned her as she
was walking to the pool. Weitkamp
explained to the employee that her
friend, who lived at the complex,
said she could swim there.
We i t k a mp
said the employ-
ee told her she
could not use the
pool and asked
her to leave.
With Weitkamps
time in Lawrence
winding down,
she said getting
caught once was
enough and she
might not try
again.
If I had another month,
Weitkamp said, I would probably
try again if I was going with other
people.
Kelli Scheuerman, community
manager for The Reserve, said The
Reserve had problems with damage
caused after hours. This caused the
staff to close the pool the following day
to clean it and balance the chemicals.
Scheuerman said The Reserve has
several tools to keep intruders off of
their property, one of them being a
digital camera system.
Erica Rowe, Kansas City, Mo.,
senior, who lives at The Reserve, said
the unwanted guests at the Reserve
pool caused her to stop visiting the
facility.
I do know a lot of people from
around Lawrence come to our pool
who dont live here. Rowe said. I
am kind of annoyed by that because
they bring all of their alcohol and
leave bottles and cans everywhere
and sometimes in the pool.
Susan Rinky, property manager
at The Legends, said her apartment
complex does not have a set way to
monitor for unwanted guests. Rinky
said all guests must be accompanied
by a resident. Rinky said unwanted
guests have not become a problem
at The Legends, but if any guest or
resident gets rambunctious, they are
asked to leave.
Sarah Mann, Overland Park
junior, goes to The Legends pool
with her sister, who lives in the com-
plex. Mann said she thinks a lot of
people are kept out of The Legends
because they need a key to get into
the pool.

In a traditional beauty pageant,
contestants try to demonstrate their
style, dignity, and grace by don-
ning evening gowns, bathing suits
and scads of make-up. And so, the
Miss Glamouresse beauty pageant
is quite normal. Theres just one
difference.
The contestants are all men.
The Kansas Summer Theatre
musical production Pageant
will hit the stage at Crafton-
Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall
this Friday at the University of
Kansas.
Bill Russell, director and co-
writer, said Pageant is not a drag
show, but rather a parody of beauty
pageants.
This show is really about the
way beauty is sold to women in
our culture, Russell said. They
go through things and do things
that we would never expect men
to do.
The six contestants Miss
Industrial Northeast, Miss West
Coast, Miss Deep South, Miss Bible
Belt, Miss Great Plains, and Miss
Texas sing and dance, hoping
to earn the top honor at the end
of the show. But the contestants
dont know who
will take home
the prize each
night. Thats
because the
five judges are
picked from
the audience at
the beginning
of each perfor-
mance, mean-
ing there poten-
tially could be a
different winner
each night.
We want the audience to be a
part of it, said Ben Cook, Plano,
Texas, senior. We dont want them
to just sit there in the dark.
Cook, who plays the part of Miss
Texas, said he was already familiar
with the mentality of Texas women.
I got to see it firsthand so I felt
like I could bring something to the
show while a lot of the other people
would just be playing stereotypes,
he said.
Each contestant has her own spe-
cial skills and talents. B. Michael
Ford, Olathe graduate, plays Miss
Industrial Northeast, a contestant
who roller skates while playing the
accordion. And Miss Bible Belt,
played by Robbie
Gordy, performs
a song and dance
number called
Im Banking on
Jesus.
I suppose
she just really
loves the Lord,
Gordy, Omaha,
Neb., junior
said.
Leavenworth
senior Jon
M a t t e s o n ,
who plays Miss Deep South, said
rehearsals have been both chal-
lenging and hilarious.
The most difficult part was walk-
ing and dancing in stiletto heels,
he said.
Nearly everything about the
show is genuine. The actors are in
the same age range as Miss USA
contestants. The theatre contains
a stage leading to a runway with
tables on both sides and the actors
go backstage only to change outfits.
And, because the audience chooses
the winners, the actors are truly
pushing themselves to become Miss
Glamouresse, Cook said.
It actually has turned into a com-
petition between all the actors, he
said.

Immigration bill set to
return to Senate foor
WASHINGTON The Senate
voted Tuesday to jump-start a
stalled immigration measure
to legalize millions of unlawful
immigrants.
President Bush said the bill of-
fered a historic opportunity for
Congress to act, and appeared
optimistic about its passage by
weeks end.
The pivotal test-vote was
64-35 to revive the divisive leg-
islation. It still faces formidable
obstacles in the Senate, includ-
ing bitter opposition by GOP
conservatives and attempts by
some waverers in both parties to
revise its key elements.

Blair to become special
envoy in Middle East
WASHINGTON Outgoing
British Prime Minister Tony Blair
will be named on Wednesday
as special envoy for the inter-
national diplomatic Quartet on
the Middle East with a portfolio
focused on Palestinian economic
and political reform, a senior U.S.
ofcial said.
Members of the Quartet, the
United States, United Nations,
European Union and Russia, will
give their public blessing to the
post and announce that Blair
has agreed to take the job in
simultaneous statements from
Washington, New York, Brussels
and Moscow, the ofcial told The
Associated Press.
The ofcial, who insisted on
anonymity because the state-
ments are still being drafted,
spoke after being briefed on a
meeting of quartet representa-
tives held earlier Tuesday in
Jerusalem.
Three U.S. ofcials said Mon-
day that discussions on naming
Blair to the post had been com-
pleted and the issue was on the
Quartets Tuesday agenda.

Murdoch close to owning

NEW YORK Rupert Mur-
doch moved closer to his dream
of owning Dow Jones & Co.
Tuesday as an initial agreement
was reached on measures to
ensure the editorial indepen-

a person familiar with the matter
said Tuesday.
It still wasnt clear whether
the deal on the issue a key
sticking point in the talks over
Murdochs $5 billion ofer
would pass the approval of
Dow Jones controlling share-
holders, the Bancroft family, who
initially rebufed Murdochs ofer

Murdochs media conglomer-
ate News Corp. and Dow Jones
board have agreed in principle
on ways to ensure the Journals
independence, with some items
yet to be decided, according to
a person speaking on condition
that he not be named because
the agreement was not yet
public.
Dow Jones and News Corp.
didnt immediately respond to

Pro wrestler involved in
double murder suicide
ATLANTA Pro wrestler Chris
Benoit strangled his wife and
smothered his son before hang-

law enforcement ofcial close to

Authorities also said they are
investigating whether steroids
may have been a factor in the
deaths of Benoit, his wife and
their 7-year-old son. Steroid
abuse has been linked to depres-
sion, paranoia, and aggressive
behavior or angry outbursts
known as roid rage.
We dont know yet. Thats

Ofcials close to fnding
cause of forest fre
MEYERS, Calif. A raging
forest fre at the southern tip of
Lake Tahoe had destroyed more
than 275 buildings by Tuesday
morning, but frefghters said
they had slowed its advance and
were close to pinpointing the
cause.
The danger to homes dimin-
ished during the night after fre-
fghters got a badly needed leg
up on the inferno, which was still
burning along rugged, uninhab-
ited slopes, fre ofcials said.
It was about 40 percent con-
tained, they said.
Residents whose houses were
only moderately damaged were
to be allowed to return home
Tuesday, and by Thursday au-

residents to destroyed homes.

GREENSBURG Helping
Greensburg rebuild from the devas-
tating May 4 tornado that destroyed
most of the town will require a big
jump in city employees.
The town isnt having much luck
filling 12 positions, including five
just dealing with community devel-
opment.
Among the citys biggest staffing
needs is in the building codes and
planning department. The depart-
ment currently is being staffed with
volunteers from the Heart of America
Chapter of the International Code
Council.
City Administrator Steve Hewitt
said city leaders are grateful for the
help, but they know it cant last for-
ever and theyre looking forward to
bring in permanent replacements.
Were no longer the small town
we used to be, Hewitt said. In
terms of building and inspection,
Ive heard speculation that we may
issue as many building permits in the
next year as Johnson County.
The need for full-time help is
underscored by the sheer number
of permits being issued as the town
clears away the rubble and struggles
to replace destroyed homes and busi-
nesses.
The citys new positions would
be subsidized by the state until fed-
eral dollars become available. City
officials said they plan to begin talk-
ing at local colleges and vocational
schools about their openings, hoping
to draw recent graduates and stu-
dents who could work as interns and
develop into full-time employees.

Victoria Beckham accepts
damages after suing magazine
LONDON Victoria Beckham ac-
cepted undisclosed damages Monday
from a celebrity magazine that claimed
the crew of her U.S. TV show considered
her picky, demanding and rude.
The former Spice Girl sued Star
magazine over an April article that
claimed staf working on the NBC show
had also described her as full of herself
and not very nice.
Beckhams lawyer, Gerrard Tyrrell,
told Britains High Court that flming
hadnt started at the time the story was
published.
The story was therefore completely
inaccurate and defamatory of Ms. Beck-
ham, he said.
Northern & Shell PLC, which pub-
lishes the magazine, apologized and
agreed to pay Beckhams legal costs and
substantial damages. The amount of
damages wasnt disclosed.
Beckham, 33, is married to soccer star
David Beckham. The couple recently
moved to the U.S., where her husband
is due to join Major League Soccers Los
Angeles Galaxy next month.

America will air July 16.

L.A. prosecutor in Hilton case
admits to wrongdoing
LOS ANGELES When Paris Hilton
was sprung from jail early, few were as
outraged and as outspoken as the
prosecutor who put her there.
But City Attorney Rocky Delgadillos
complaints of a two-tiered jail system
where the rich and powerful receive
special treatment have come to back to
haunt him.
Soon after Hilton was sent back to jail
earlier this month, he acknowledged his
wife had committed a similar infraction
driving with a suspended license.
Among other things, he also admitted
sticking the taxpayers with the bill after
his wife crashed his city-issued car in
2004, and acknowledged that stafers
have occasionally run personal errands
and baby-sat his children.
The disclosures have led the Califor-
nia bar and the city Ethics Commission
to open investigations of one of Los
Angeles highest-ranking law enforce-
ment ofcers.
The furor has sent the normally
publicity-friendly politician into virtual
hiding. Delgadillos ofce declined to
comment.

Actor Sizemore sentenced to
16 months for drug possession
LOS ANGELES Tom Sizemore was

alleged discovery of methamphetamine

tion in a previous drug case.
Sizemore has been in every pro-
gram, and here he is again, Superior
Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis said.
Rayvis recommended Sizemore be
sent to the R.J. Donovan Correctional
Facility in San Diego County because of
its noteworthy drug treatment program.
Sizemore, whose screen credits
include Saving Private Ryan and Black
Hawk Down, didnt speak during the
hearing. He wore orange jail clothing.

Rosie ODonnell, former host of The View, announced Monday that she will not replace Bob Barker as host of The Price is Right.
Barker had earlier said that ODonnell would make a fne host for the show.
NEW YORK Rosie
ODonnell says shes out of the
running to replace Bob Barker
as host of The Price Is Right.
ODonnell, a superfan of the
CBS game show, said on her
blog Friday that she had a nice
lunch with the shows produc-
ers.
Barker, 83, retired earlier this
month after 35
years with the
show, which is
flmed in Los
Angeles.
Although
ODonnell has
said she would
love to fll
Barkers shoes,
the 45-year-
old comedian
has changed
her mind.
Well, heres the thing: I dont
really need a job, ODonnell
says in a video posted Sunday
on her Web site. Im in a weird
position. I dont need the
money.
So to get my entire family
uprooted from their lives and
move them across the country
so that I can have a fantasy
childhood indulgence, you
know, job ... it just doesnt seem
fair.
ODonnell lives in Nyack, N.Y.,
near New York City, with her
partner,
Kelli, and
their four
children.
She re-
cently left
ABCs The
View after
a heated
on-air
squabble
with
co-host
Elisabeth
Hasselbeck.
You know, if they were able
to do it in New York, it would
be a diferent story, ODonnell
says. But it looks like its aint
gonna happen.
Barker told reporters at the
Daytime Emmy Awards he
had no doubt that ODonnell
would make a fne host for the
show.
But Barker told The Associ-
ated Press last week he never
meant to endorse any potential
host and has no role in choos-
ing his replacement.
The Price Is Right is on hia-
tus until the new season starts
in the fall.

a mohawk, bug eyes and a long, wagging

TOKYO The competitive eating
world is already chewing on this bit of
breaking news: The champ may not be
able to chomp.
Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, the six-
time champion of the annual Fourth
of July hot dog eating contest, may be
sidelined for next weeks event by an
arthritic jaw.
Last year, the 165-pound Kobayashi
won his sixth straight Yellow Mustard
Belt at the Independence Day competi-
tion in Coney Island, N.Y., by devouring
a then-world record 53 3/4 frankfurters
in 12 minutes.
That mark was smashed earlier this
month by Joey Chestnut of San Jose,
Calif., who gobbled up 59 1/2 hot dogs
and buns at the Southwest Regional
Hot Dog Eating Championship at the
Arizona Mills Mall in suburban Tempe,
Ariz., _ one of the qualifying events for
Coney Island.
Chestnut nearly beat Kobayashi in
2006, downing 52 hot dogs and buns
at the contest, which is sponsored by
Nathans Famous Inc.
But Kobayashi, 29, may not be able
to defend his title. Earlier this week, he
said on his Web site that his jaw has
abandoned the frontline during his
training.
Already I cant open my jaws more
than just a little bit, he wrote. Theres
no pain only if I open my mouth about
enough for one fnger. More than that
is painful and I cant open it.
A specialist diagnosed him with
arthritis of the jaw, he wrote.
To tell the truth, Im desperate
about healing completely before the
July 4 contest, he said, adding that he
had begun receiving treatment at a
hospital and from a chiropractor.
On Tuesday, his United Food Fight-
ers Organization said on his Web site
that Kobayashi has found a doctor he
can trust and was creating an environ-
ment in which he can dedicate himself
to healing.

Gator
pulls
golfer
into
pond
VENICE, Fla. A man who lost
his ball in a golf course pond nearly
lost a limb when a nearly 11-foot
alligator latched on to his arm and
pulled him in the water, authorities
said.
Bruce Burger, 50, was trying to
retrieve his ball Monday from a
pond on the sixth hole at the Lake
Venice Golf Club.
The alligator latched on to
Burgers right forearm and pulled
him in the pond, said Gary Morse, a
spokesman for the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Burger used his left arm to beat the
reptile until it freed him.
I saw him reach down to get
his ball and he yelled for help, said
Janet Pallo, who was playing the
ffth hole and ran over to drive the
man to the clubhouse.
Burger, from Lenoir City, Tenn.,
was taken to a hospital but was
not seriously injured, Morse said
Tuesday.
It took seven Fish and Wildlife of-
fcers an hour to trap the one-eyed
alligator, which measured 10 feet,
11 inches, Morse said.
The pond at the sixth hole has a
Beware of Alligator sign.
Unfortunately, thats part of
Florida, course general manager
Rod Parry said. Theres wildlife in
these ponds.

Michael Lee has found that chas-
ing the dreams of playing a game
hes loved since he was a child can be
painstakingly lonely.
The former Kansas basketball
standouts college career ended more
than two years ago against Bucknell
in the first round of the NCAA tour-
nament. Since then Lee has played
basketball in other countries, toured
the U.S. with a basketball team
known for its flare not its national
ranking and played in gyms that
wouldnt hold half the fans of Allen
Fieldhouse.
It doesnt get any better than play-
ing basketball at Kansas, Lee said. He
said if you dont make it to the NBA,
you dont get treated as well as when
youre a student athlete. After touring
with the Harlem Globetrotters early
in 2006, Lee accepted an offer to play
in France, but recalled the time as a
painful learning experience.
If I wasnt on the court, I was
miserable, Lee said. The first day I
had my car I got two speeding tickets
and then got my car towed. I didnt
speak French. I couldnt communi-
cate well with anyone.
Lee never made it past the transi-
tion process that looms for many
American players in Europe. Despite
the solace he received at the time
from fellow European player and
former teammate Aaron Miles, Lee
returned to the U.S.
A fresh start waited back in Kansas
with the U.S. Basketball Leagues
Kansas Cagerz in Salina. Soon after
the Cagerz point guard went down
with an injury, Lee immediately
faced another change in his playing
career.
Instead of playing the shooting
guard position that he had been
familiar with his entire career at
Kansas, the Cagerz cast Lee into the
point guard position.
Playing the point has made me
a more versatile player, Lee said. I
feel comfortable leading and making
decisions on the court now.
Lees unstable career continued
with the Cagerz. Diving for a ball,
Lees left arm went numb and liga-
ments inside it tore, ending his sea-
son.
Lee said returning to the
University with Miles for Bill Self s
Kansas Basketball Camp during the
past two weeks has brought back
memories of successful times in Lees
career. He said the shoulder injury is
healing and he has enjoyed playing
with the younger Jayhawk players.
He doesnt tell the current Jayhawks
more than they ask, but he does
make sure to let the players know
how good of a life they have at
Kansas.
I can say KU is the best place in
the world, Lee said. Coach Self was
so good at making sure every player
improved, not just the stars of the
program.
Lee said he was unsure whether he
would ever play professional basket-
ball again. Dealing with the unstable
atmosphere of the semi-pro game is
a situation Lee is still weighing. He
said he may go back to college if he
doesnt find a good fit with a basket-
ball team. Despite the frustrations
since college, he said hes matured
and learned far more about himself
through the trials.
Ive learned that if nothing else,
everyone is a leader of themselves,
Lee said. Right now, I like that I
have options. Only time will tell
where I end up.

Gary Woodlands career as a
standout performer for the Kansas
golf team has concluded, but his pro-
fessional career is
just beginning to
take flight.
Wo o d l a n d
ended his ten-
ure as a Jayhawk
tying for 25th
at the NCAA
Central Regional
Tournament on
May 19. Despite
the disappointing finish, Woodland
captured three tournament victories
during his senior season.
Since the close of the season,
Woodland has been on the ama-
teur circuit developing his game. In
September, he plans to become a
professional golfer.
Im trying to continually better
myself each day, Woodland said.
Im excited about the chance to
become a professional.
Playing golf wasnt Woodlands first
love upon graduating from Shawnee
Heights High School in Shawnee. He
signed a scholarship to play basket-
ball at Washburn University, where
he continued developing his golf
game on Washburns golf team.
In relation to his golfing peers,
Woodland is relatively young to the
sport.
I loved playing basketball. I had
great success in the sport, Woodland
said. What it came down to was,
that for me, basketball was a four-
year sport. Unlike basketball, I knew
in golf I might have the opportunity
to play professionally.
After playing for the U.S. team in
the United States-Japan Collegiate
Championship on July 11-13 in
Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.,
Woodland will be back in Kansas
for one tournament before head-
ing to Texas to continue improving
with his teaching pro Randy Smith.
Smith served as a second coach for
Woodland throughout his senior
season.
Ive been with Randy for over a
year and a half now, Woodland said.
Like today, I had a bad round pull-
ing the ball, so
I called him up.
He calmed me
down and gave
me advice on
what to change
tomorrow.
Along with
Smith, the
Kansas coach-
ing staff of Ross
Randall and
Kit Grove has
had an effect
on Woodlands success. Woodland
describes Randall as a second father
to him and said Grove will be a great
coach after Randalls retirement.
Kansas assistant coach Kit Grove
said Woodland possessed skills that
separated him from other players.
Grove said Woodlands potential was
unlimited because of his ability to
build off of every round he plays.
Gary can do things with a golf
ball that very few people can, Grove
said. He has that X-factor you cant
teach and when he does need help
hes like a sponge
learning from
everything.
Wo o d l a n d
said he hoped to
qualify for the
Walker Cup that
takes place at the
Royal County
Down Golf Club
in Ireland on
September 8-9.
After that event,
he will choose his
sponsors and make the leap to the
pros.
Id love to play in the Walker
Cup, Woodland said. That is my
final goal as an amateur.
